(Write a Review)
Paperback
$4.99
In 14 pages you will take a simple easy-to-understand look back to the historical teachings of the church and bring them to life for today's believers. During the time of the early church (AD 30-AD 400) some key beliefs were misunderstood by Gnostics and other religious groups. Some people couldn't tell the difference between the teachings of Jesus' apostles and the notions that were common in society. It was important to put together short summaries of the essential doctines of the faith. Many of the phrases were written to address particular false beliefs. The pamphlet shows that many of the questionable teachings of 2000 years ago are still around. Understanding how the church dealt with these issues in the past helps us to deal with those same issues today.
This Pamphlet is Packed with Easy-to-Read Information at a Glance!
A clear simple explanation of the church's response to ancient heresies, many of which are common in today's cultic groups and other religions.
CHART 1
Concise easy-to-understand chart with explanations of these groups. They are important to know because so many modern heresies are similar to them. Without a chart such as this, it is difficult to tell the truth from an incorrect belief because groups use the same terms.
CHARTS 2, 3 and 4
These charts explain each part of the three Creeds line by line and give Bible references for each phrase.
CHART 5
Side-by-side comparison of Gnostic and Christian beliefs on Jesus, Salvation, the Origin of Evil, Cosmonogy (origin of the universe), and Cosmology (the nature, order, and function of the universe).
Perfect for confirmation, baptism, and communion-preparation classes; parents of confirmation students; teacher training on the basic beliefs of Christianity; personal devotional reading; and small group or Bible study.
